    Yup, this is what I'm saying since his fight with Peterson and Omri Lowther, Rios rehydrates to 156 lbs come fight night. That's practically what a full blown welters weight is at fight night. At 5'9" he is basically bigger than Miguel Cotto.
    The question is can he take bombs at 147 like the way he's been taking bombs at 135? Is he gonna slowdown at that 147?

    I don't know. He seems alright to me at his current division.

    He's not going to get any faster on his feet. Just not sure what he can add to arsenal other then combinations and tight arm defense. He doesnt speak reverse. Acosta was the real deal, he learned more in that one then he may have in last few together. Great style to be exposed to.

    Rios and Antillon would be one hell of a scrap. I hope he faces him regardless of if Antillon gets by Sotto.

    GREAT GREAT fight last night.

    I was rootin for Rios even tho he's a piss head, but I couldn't help but be impressed by Acosta, seein him for the first time, and I was rootin for him too.

    Hell of a fight.

    I hope Acosta is alright cus that was a prolonged amount of punishment.
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
